Shutterbugs
Hello Photography friends. Can you believe another year is now in our
rear view mirror and we get to start fresh? Here’s hoping all of you had a
wonderful and safe holiday season celebrating with your family and
friends.
Now that you have captured all those holiday memories on that new
camera or camera phone what do you do with them? How do you get
them from your camera or camera phone to your computing device to
begin to do some fun photo sharing? Well you’ve come to the right
place.
The Shutterbugs January 6th in person meeting at The Retreat Library at
2pm will dedicate our meeting to just this topic.
So bring all your questions and let’s have some fun with our holiday
photos. We would also like to encourage any residents of the community
who have not yet been to a meeting to take this opportunity to check us
out and share your holiday photos.
You can share up to 10 of your favorite holiday photos by choosing one
several different ways and we will demonstrate all of them. You can
bring your camera’s memory card; you can bring you photo files on a
thumb drive or you can send them to tmisc10@gmail.com as attachments
to an email.
We will review each process as well as how to organize, store,
electronically share and print your photos.
All club members are encouraged to make sure they become a member of
our Facebook Group at: https://www.facebook.com/
groups/436603713658143. This is a great place to easily share your
photos. Give it a try.
